So, i have 2x 7870's That i usually play Crysis 3 with, today when i tried streaming Crysis 3 for the first time i noticed a huge frame drop (from around 55 to 30 with maxed settings) and saw that my second GPU was disabled, i'm streaming with Game Source, Windows aero enabled or that stuff, When i activate OBS Crossfire is still working, it's when i start streaming my second card just stops suddenly.
Question / Help Streaming with Crossfire?

It works sometimes. It doesn't work sometimes. It's very game dependent, but Crossfire/SLI are largely a pain in the ass and unreliable, especially when it comes to streaming. If you really must use Crossfire while streaming, you might seriously want to consider using a capture card (this is pretty much the only situation I would ever recommend someone get a capture card for a single PC setup, in fact)
Game Capture works by pulling the images directly from your GPU, which is why it gets such good performance, but the catch is OBS has to be running on the same GPU as your game. Crossfire/SLI screw all this up.
